Hi.

After making a QA upload for this package today, I think we could
delay that a little bit.

I used this package in the past to transfer files from/to my phone.

Currently, the only RC bug is the one about fuse. If nobody fixes it
before the freeze of forky, I agree that it does not make sense to
keep the package in the distribution, but until then there is still
some time. I'm tagging the fuse bug as help in case somebody (not
necessarily a DD) can give a hand.

Thanks.
